This might seem like a strange question, but I have a tendency to panic when something happens to one of my cats. And I am really confused about emergency services provided by vets. A couple of times in the past I have had older cats develop physical problems at inconvenient times. Both times I called my own veterinary clinic and I talked to the vet on call over the phone, but I was always told to wait until the clinic opened to bring the cat in. Both times it was possible to do this. Also my own veterinary clinic is supposed to provide 24 hour emergency service.
I have one older cat right now, and I want to be prepared in case of a sudden crisis that can't wait. I can't locate any veterinary clinics in my area that are open 24 hours a day. Does this mean that if the cat had a major problem like a sudden stroke in the middle of the night, it would just have to suffer until regular business hours?
